Rob Huff has left Honda to reunite with the All-Inkl.com Munnich Motorsport team for the 2017 World Touring Car Championship.

The Cambridge driver will drive a Citroen C-Elysee, the top performing car for the last three years.

The move makes him a strong contender to win this year’s title and add to the 2012 championship he won with Chevrolet.

Huff spent one season with the All-Inkl.com Munnich Motorsport team in 2013 before spending two seasons with LADA and one with Honda.

He said: “I’m overjoyed to be rejoining my very good friends at Münnich Motorsport.

“Having had a very successful year with the team in 2013, we are excited to come back together in a much stronger position, with more experience and of course with the ultra-competitive Citroën package.

“Obviously when (team owner) René Münnich approached me with the idea of a Huff-Citroën/Münnich Motorsport attack on the world driver championship for 2017 it was an opportunity that I simply could not pass on.

"It is a year when it’s quite possible for a private team to be WTCC champions, and that is our number one goal.”
